What is a gas fire, and how does it work?

A gas fire burns natural gas or LPG to produce heat and flame. When the gas mixes with air and ignites, it creates warmth that can heat a room quickly without the ash or smoke of a wood fire. Modern designs often include realistic coal or log effects.

What types of gas fires can I choose from?

Common types include inset gas fires (fit inside an existing opening), hole-in-wall gas fires (sleek and modern), balanced flue gas fires (vent through an external wall), and flueless gas fires (no chimney needed, but require ventilation).

Do I need a chimney to install a gas fire?

Not always. Traditional inset gas fires can use an existing chimney, but balanced flue and flueless gas fires allow installation in homes without a chimney, venting directly through an external wall or using special venting systems. Always follow manufacturer and Gas Safe guidance.

How much heat does a gas fire produce?

Gas fires have different heat outputs to suit room size and heating needs. Smaller rooms often need lower kW output, while larger living spaces benefit from higher kW models. Check product specifications for recommended output ranges.

How efficient are gas fireplaces?

Modern gas fireplaces with balanced flues and glass fronts can achieve high efficiency by directing more heat into the room and reducing losses up the flue. This makes them efficient options for supplemental room heating.
